The Gaucho Juan Moreira: True Crime in Nineteenth-Century

The Gaucho Juan Moreira: True Crime in Nineteenth-Century Argentina (Hackett Classics)

Argentinian writer Eduardo GutiÃ©rrez (1851-1889) fashioned his seminal gauchesque novel from the prison records of the real Juan Moreira, a noble outlaw whose life and name became legendary in the RÃo de la Plata during the late 19th century.
John Chasteen's fast-moving, streamlined translation--the first ever into English--captures all of the sweeping romance and knife-wielding excitement of the original. William Acree's introduction and notes situate Juan Moreira in its literary and historical contexts. Numerous illustrations, a map of Moreiraâ€™s travels, a glossary of terms, and a select bibliography are all included.
